Jury selection is set to begin Monday in the public-corruption trial of Angela Spaccia -- the second-in-command in Bell when the city erupted in scandal.

Under former city manager Robert Rizzo, Spaccia pulled in a salary of $376,000 a year and doubled as the top administrator in neighboring Maywood, a city that let go most of its civic employees after it lost its insurance in 2010.

Rizzo pleaded no contest last week to 69 felony charges, including misappropriating public funds.
